How to open PMLZ file?
An often recurring problem with Zipped Palm Markup Language Format is that PMLZ is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PMLZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PMLZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install eReader

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PMLZ files.
Programs to open PMLZ file
Remember to download programs supporting PMLZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of eReader with PMLZ files
If, despite the installed application, the PMLZ file does not start in the eReader application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PMLZ file with the eReader application.
Step 3. Update eReader to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the eReader program, it is possible that Zipped Palm Markup Language Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PMLZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PMLZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PMLZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PMLZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PMLZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PMLZ files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PMLZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PMLZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PMLZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PMLZ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
